how effective would it be on the bulkhead regarding heat to fasten some sheet titanium to it. got some lying about and the exhaust flange is sitting near it so was wondering if it would help.

balls to the blower!!!

What are you hoping to achieve?
Titanium transmits heat similarly to aluminium from my experience

I seriously doubt it!

Ti has a much lower heat conductivity to alluminium, more in the region of steel and stainless, (according to the web)

tbh I dont htink it matters what you use... just use somthing shiny that wont melt.

Does it really matter? Heat shields are made from aluminium. Its the air gap that matters. So long as there is an air gap either side, it will act as a heat shield.

righty. ok im with you. like i said, the exhaust outlet flange is only about 1" from the bulkhead so i was thinking of fixing some titanium sheet to that area on the bulkhead to stop the heat transfer. if i can get a gap between them it will work if i understand correct.

Polish the sheet before you fix it in place.
